Reaching Fear (3) grants her Fury’s Rage, an ability where you conjure a flaming aura around her, dealing damage in an AoE every 3 seconds. Reaching Loyalty (3) with Verse grants Death From Above, a deft move where you launch Verse into the air while she shoots 3 trueshot arrows that penetrate armor. The default combo ability you gain from having Verse in your party is Blood Soaks Stone, a melee attack where she knocks a target before you follow up with an earth-shattering slam. She’s a firm believer that there’s no shame in being an usurper should you prove yourself stronger than your former master. “Feisty and chaotic” actions will draw her Loyalty, whereas “orderly and honorable” actions will increase her Fear. Reputation and Combos: Verse respects strength and the disorder of war. Her experience boost talent lies in her Skirmisher tree and affects Bows, Dual Wielding, and Athletics. At the end of my first playthrough, my front-line fighters were level 18, whereas Verse had JUST hit 14. Basically, not getting attacked means your defense skills won’t level up as quickly as those in the front lines. Staying away from combat does have its disadvantages, though, thanks to Tyranny‘s use-based skill system. Keep in mind that through the use of Improvised Attacks (third row in the Skirmisher tree), it’s also possible to run Verse as a hybrid melee/ranged fighter, opening up combat from afar before getting up close and personal. The Skirmisher tree focuses on keeping Verse at a safe distance through bonuses to ranged attacks defense ( Nimble, Lightning Reflexes) and bow attacks ( Piercing Arrows, Skull Splitter, Canvas Splitter). The tree also grants an increase to defenses when being attacked ( Know Your Enemy), the ability to counterattack when an enemy misses ( Lethal Opening), and several damage-dealing abilities that add utility and debuff enemies. The Duelist tree focuses on Verse’s ability to be a front-line secondary tank and damage dealer through a taunt ( Mocking Iron). Combat Style and Talents: Verse’s two talent trees focus on either improving her dual-wielding melee abilities through the Duelist tree or her ranged bow attacks through the Skirmisher tree. Verse is the first companion to join the Fatebinder, and you find out early on that she willingly conscripted into the Scarlet Chorus, something few do. Jump to a Companion: Verse, Barik, Lantry, Eb, Sirin, or Kills-in-Shadow.īackground: Verse is a Scarlet Fury of the Scarlet Chorus, an accomplished fighter known more for her wild and aggressive style than discipline. By taking the time to lay out each companion’s background, combat style, and motivations, I can hopefully make that decision a little bit easier. If you’re like me, the choice of which companions get to tag along and which stay home is tough. The game is party-based, and you can only have four characters in your party including yourself. Obsidian Entertainment and Paradox Interactive have crafted a riveting adventure in a world where the evil overlord has won and you act as a Fatebinder enforcing his rule. Tyranny is off to a strong start among cRPG fans.
